Biosketch: Aubrey Messina spent her formative months in the yards of San Leandro, CA. Quickly rising through the ranks amongst her pack, she was poached by her current parents with a handsome start-up package of beef liver, a multi-year BarkBox subscription, and a sabbatical leave to the top ranked University of PetSmart, Daly City where she carried out foundational research into being a good doggo.
Her work has been recognized with multiple prestigious accolades such as the Modern Dog Magazine Talented 12, AKC Director's New Innovator Award, and the Dog Transactions Emerging Investigator Award.
